Call The Jewish News 354-6060 sraelis who voted in the Histadrut elections last Monday left the giant trade union federation in the hands of the Labor Party, depriving Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir of a political advantage he had hoped to exploit on his visit to the United States this week. Shamir's Likud Party was aiming for a third of the votes in the new Histadrut Executive. It won 28 percent, accor- ding to an Israel Television sample poll broadcast just as the 3,000 voting stations around the country closed. According to the poll, Labor scored 54 percent, about as expected. The so- cialist Mapam Party sur ; prised many by winning an estimated 10 percent of the vote. The joint Jewish-Arab list got 5 percent, and the Citizens Rights Movement squeezed by with 3 percent, the threshold for representa- tion in Histadrut bodies. There was jubilation at Labor Party headquarters over the apparent results. Likud's reaction was more subdued. A spokesman said the party hoped to reach 30 percent when all of the votes are counted. But their goal of 34 percent appeared to be out of reach. . For his visit to the United States, Shamir had hoped to be able to point to a strong showing in Histadrut, a tra- ditional Labor stronghold, as evidence that Likud's for- eign policies enjoy massive popular support in Israel. Throughout the election campaign, Shamir ham- mered away at the idea that the Histadrut vote would be as much or more a referen- dum on peace policy than on labor-related matters. The Labor Party denied that at' first. But when it became clear that Likud was bitterly divided over Shamir's peace plan, Laborites stopped rebutting the prime minister's argu- ment. Likud did make gains. Its 28 percent, if it holds, is a considerable improvement over the 22 percent it won in the last Histadrut election in 1985. Moreover, it was disadvan- taged by running the little known Ya'acov Shammai for Histadrut secretary-general against Labor's popular 1 Yisrael Kessar: A second term. Yisrael Kessar, who is now assured of a second term. Nevertheless, if Likud still lacks the clout to block major constitutional mea- sures in the Histadrut Cen- tral Committee, it may be able to console itself by win- ning control of a string of local labor councils dominated until now by Labor. The local councils ran separate slates. Laborites played down the success of Mapam, noting that it achieved 12 percent when it ran jointly with Labor in 1985. But independent observers credited its popular can- didate, Yair Tsaban, with a fine showing. When Mapam announced it would run in- dependently, pollsters hard- ly gave the small left-wing party the 3 percent minimum. Kessar said Labor and Mapam together were likely to end up in a stronger posi- tion. Aliyah Rises By 54 Percent Tel Aviv (JTA) — Im- migration to Israel during the first nine months of 1989 was 54 percent higher than for the same period last year, the Central Bureau of Statistics reported recently. A dramatic rise in the number of emigres from the Soviet Union was largely responsible. They numbered 5,821 this year, compared to 1,574 in 1988. There were also 1,447 newcomers from Argentina, 1,099 from the United States, 656 from France and 348 from Britain. Total aliyah from January through September was 14,153.
